Will it be hard for me to get into uni of manchester

hi im in secondary school in scotland currently in s5. when i leave school i want to get into the uni of manchester to study fashion, ive heard they have multiple courses and theyre brilliant. im taking nat 5 art right now but planning on doing higher next year while also taking a year college course for fashion retail. im aiming for mainly As and Bs but was wondering if my ucas points will take a big part in trying to get in. ill be taking an advanced higher in music next year hopefully and i know thats worth a bit more points than a higher. what is any other suggestions i should take into accountability?

The University of Manchester will make you a conditional offer based on your Higher grades. Their entry requirements don't even refer to UCAS points, so don't stress over these.

What course are you most interested in? A quick glance at their BSc Fashion Marketing lists this under Scottish requirements:

•

We normally require grades AABBB in Scottish Highers.

•

AA in Scottish Advanced Highers plus at least BB in Higher Level. English Language and Mathematics not taken at Higher/Advanced Higher must have been achieved at SCQF level 5 (minimum National 5 grade C / Intermediate 2 grade C / Standard Grade Credit level grade 3).

im mainly focused on fashion business and what not, im currently taking higher business, communications, music and nat 5 art. i havent got a nat 5 in maths but was planning on doing it next year for 6th year. my old school didnt let me take my maths exam which was a bit unfair but im also wondering if it matters if i take math applications instead of maths.
